When I easily won this Nikon D80 package on ebay from Digital Corp (a.k.a Infinity Cameras), it seemed like a great deal at roughly $1600 for the camera plus a lot of extras. Upon winning and paying through paypal, I called the company to "confirm my order", only to be told that the charger and rechargeable battery would cost extra (despite the auction stating otherwise) and were not included. I said no thank you, and the salesperson became really rude and then said, "This item is on backorder and will take 3 weeks to ship. Goodbye." And hung up on me. Later, when I called back, I said I wanted to take the battery + charger offer, and suddenly the item could be shipped overnight and received within a couple of days. The "backorder" comment was to punish the customer for not buying into additional items. I was told upfront that if I bought into the battery offer, that my item would get past the border via courrier and would be on my doorstep immediately, otherwise it could take a long time. This is fraudulent busniess practice.
They also tried to sell me an additional Canadian warranty (since I am not eligible for the U.S one) at a price of $250 more, but I said absolutely not. I have since called Nikon Canada and the the 2 year optional warranty is under $200 CDN.
DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY! The prices of their camera kits seem too good to be true and they ARE. It will end up costing you 20-25% more due to fees that are undisclosed at the time of your order! And if you don't accept these additional fees they will not deliver your item in a polite or timely manner!
